This study aims to analyze and compare the clinical and pathological characteristics of anorectal malignant melanoma (AMM) among Chinese patients and those from East Asia. Clinical data of 17 AMM patients who were treated at Jiangsu Province Hospital (JPH) in China from 2013 to 2023 were collected, and further compared with 544 East Asia AMM patients reported in 20 literature materials from 2011 to 2023. Furthermore, the 4-fold table of the Pearson Chi-square test was used to calculate and compare the pathological characteristics of AMM patients in JPH and East Asia. Fisher exact probability was performed to statistically analyze the relationship between clinical–pathological indicators and lymphatic metastasis in AMM patients in JPH. The median age of initial diagnosis for AMM patients in JPH and East Asia were 69 years and 61.4 years, respectively. Several medical indicators are similar between the JPH and East Asian patients, and the differences are not statistically significant ( P > .05), including gender, S-100 Protein, Human Melanoma Black 45, Ki-67, tumor size, lymphatic metastasis, and surgical approach. Moreover, indicators showed differences ( P < .05) are tumor location, Melanoma Antigen Recognized by T cells 1, depth of invasion, clinical stage, and adjuvant therapy. In AMM patients in JPH, lymphatic metastasis is significantly correlated with tumor size and depth of invasion ( P = .017 and .004, respectively). In AMM patients from JPH, lymphatic metastasis is significantly correlated with tumor size and depth of invasion. More indicators are similar between AMM patients in JPH and East Asia populations, such as gender, S-100 Protein, Human Melanoma Black 45, Ki-67, tumor size, lymphatic metastasis, and surgical approach, while less indicators have differences.

To analyze and compare the clinicopathological characteristics of male breast cancer (MBC) among Chinese patients and those from East Asia and other regions. Clinicopathological data from 3 kinds of data sources, including 31 MBC patients in Jiangsu Provincial Hospital (JPH) from 2014 to 2021 in China, 20 literature data on East Asian MBC patients from 2014 to 2021, and 3102 MBC patients registered in the surveillance, epidemiology, and end results (SEER) database from 2014 to 2019, were collected and retrospectively analyzed. The average ages of first-diagnosis MBC patients in JPH and East Asian patients were 59.7 and 62.3 years old, respectively, which were younger than those of SEER patients (66.5 years old). Between East Asian and SEER patients, the status or rates of main breast cancer type, estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2, breast subtype, and TNM stage were relatively close, and their differences were not statistically significant (P > .05). Differences were observed in chemotherapy, surgery, pathological grade, and lymph node positivity (P < .01). Furthermore, no statistically significant difference was observed between the JPH and East Asian patients (all P > .05). In JPH and SEER, linear regression relationships were observed between the lymph node positivity rate, tumor size, and histological grade. JPH and East Asian MBC patients were younger than SEER patients. Between East Asian and SEER patients, the status of the main breast cancer type, estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2, breast subtype, and TNM stage were similar, but there were differences in chemotherapy, surgery, pathological grade, and lymph node positivity. The findings of this study should prove to be helpful to deepen our understanding of East Asian MBC.

Long non-coding RNAs(lncRNAs) defined as RNAs of more than 200 nucleotides in length don't en-code protein but are closely related to the development of breast cancer.Plenty of lncRNAs are dysregulated in breast cancer,and they can regulate the invasion and metastasis of breast cancer through various mechanisms such as transcription and post-transcriptional regulation which is greatly important to guide the treatment and prognosis of breast cancer.
Substantial evidence shows that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) participate in many biological mechanisms, and their dysregulation are also involved in the development and progression of cancers, including gastric cancer (GC). Long intergenic non-coding RNA 00324 (LINC00324), a 2115 bp ncRNA, is located on chromosome 17p13.1. The biological function and molecular mechanisms of LINC00324 in GC remains undiscovered. In this paper, we found that the expression level of LINC00324 was significantly upregulated in GC tissues compared with the corresponding normal tissues. The overexpression of LINC00324 was correlated with advanced TNM stage, larger tumor size, and lymph node metastasis as well as poor prognosis. Further experiments revealed that knockdown of LINC00324 could suppress the proliferation of GC cells. RNA transcriptome sequencing technology revealed that FAM83B may be a significant downstream target gene of LINC00324. LINC00324 could combine with the RNA-binding protein (RBP) human antigen R (HuR) and thus stabilize the expression of FAM83B. Moreover, rescue assays showed that the reduced FAM83B expression partially reversed the promotion of cell growth in GC induced by the overexpression of LINC00324. In conclusion, our study revealed that LINC00324 acted as an oncogene in tumorigenesis and progression, suggesting that it could be a new biomarker in diagnosis and prognosis of GC.
